Most of the foreign regimes will not care about the lives of the original people in this land.For thousands of years, no matter who conquered the Ravidian people of India, they have always been in the class of the Shudras, that is, the poor, and have always been ruled by others.Now in the face of the threat of the Zhou army, the Mughal high-level, for their own safety, did not hesitate to betray the interests of India, decided to cede land and pay compensation, and let the Zhou army retreat.The Mughals ceded land to the Indians, and although the compensation was temporarily collected by them, it was eventually passed on to the lower castes and untouchables.A large empire with a population larger than the Ming Dynasty and a territory close to the traditional Han land, when there were still 670,000 troops, actually conceded defeat to less than 20,000 Zhou troops, which surprised Wu Sangui and his generals.At this time, in the city of Delhi, Mughal nobles, Indian high-caste priests, hurriedly scraped together 500,000 taels of gold, transported it out of the city, and sent it to the camp of the Zhou army.In addition, there were carts full of grain that entered the camp of the Zhou army.Wu Sangui rode on a war horse, watching the soldiers inspect the gold and grain, his heart was excited, he really didn't expect that he was driven out of Guanzhong by Zhao Ming and left in the Western Regions, like a lost dog, with only 20,000 horses, he could Yang Wei foreign land and force a great empire to submit.This made Wu Sangui's shrinking ambition swell rapidly."
Your Majesty, 500,000 taels of gold, this is equivalent to the tax income of the first year."
Xia Guoxiang was also very excited."
And 800,000 stone of grain!
It's too easy, too!
”Wu Guozhu said excitedly.When the Guanning generals saw the gold and grain, their morale was high, and they regained their vision and hope for the Great Zhou.At this time, Sun Kewang led Modi over and saluted Wu Sangui and said, "Your Majesty, the gold is enough, but the grain is only 100,000 stones!"
”Modi said busily: "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not that we don't keep our promises, but that there is only so much grain in the city of Delhi.Our Great Khan promised to transport grain from the Ganges Ganges as soon as possible, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to be accommodating!
”Wu Sangui has been in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a long time, and he also understands Mongolian, and when he heard Modi call himself emperor, Wu Sangui felt relieved in his heart."
What does Prime Minister Sun think?"
Wu Sangui was not angry, and asked Sun Kewang in a good mood.Sun Kewang glanced at Wu Sangui and had a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, then they will be limited to transporting the grain to Punjab for delivery within three months!"
”Wu Sangui then said, "Did you hear that?"
”Modi nodded hurriedly and said, "I heard it, please ask the Emperor of the Great Zhou for grace, we will definitely deliver it within the time limit!"
”Wu Sangui smiled and said: "Okay, the widow will give you three months, and it will not expire, so don't blame the widow for sending troops again!"
”Modi thanked him and said that he would send the food on a certain period.Wu Sangui then pulled the reins of his horse and entered the camp, preparing to pack his bags and retreat to Punjab.At this time, Sun Kewang sent Modi to the outside of the camp and said with a slight smile: "Prime Minister Modi, there is something else I want to ask you for help with!"
”Modi's heart sank, and Sun Kewang hurriedly smiled: "It's a good thing!"
”Modi said: "Sun Guoxiang has something, I can help, I will definitely help!"
”Sun Kewang pulled Modi Bi aside and said in a low voice: "You Mughals cede Kashmir and Punjab to me Da Zhou.It has just been destroyed by the war, and I continue to restore the destroyed city with supplies, so I hope to use the money to buy some supplies!
”"This~" Modierbi groaned.Sun Kewang smiled and said: "Money is not a problem, we can buy it from you at a price higher than the market price." ”Modi raised his eyebrows, looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "I want to find a way!"
”…… The Zhou army, stationed northwest of Delhi, after receiving money and food from the Mughal nobles, kept its promise and withdrew to Punjab that afternoon.This made the Mughal nobles in Delhi breathe a sigh of relief, and after there was no direct military threat, including the Mughal Khan Aurangzeb, many nobles were angry at the thought of the gold and grain blackmailed by the Zhou army.Aurangzeb gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "This defeat is because Ben Khan is not ready, but next time, Ben Khan will definitely defeat them and make them double their return." ”Modigirby was still more sober, "Great Khan, it is undeniable that the cavalry of the Zhou army is still very strong.Their armor, as well as their artillery, muskets, and battle formations, surpass ours!
”Aurangzeb remembered the terrifying wall charge of the Zhou cavalry on the battlefield, but he still insisted: "This is only temporary, Ben Khan wants to unite Safi and the Ottoman Sultan to launch a holy war against them!"
”The Mughals had a feud with the Safavids, and the Ottomans also had conflicts with the Safavids.Although they belong to the same religion, they are indeed different sects, and the contradictions are very great, and it is difficult to unite them."
Will the rest of the food be delivered?"
Modi said, worried.Fortunately, Aurangzeb didn't really go crazy, and after he was silent for a while, he compromised: "Send it as agreed."
It will take time to contact the Safi Sultan and the Ottoman Sultan, wait for Ben Khan to agree with them, and then clean up the Zhou State!
”…… In mid-September, Wu Sangui led the Zhou army and stopped when it arrived in the city of Lahore.Previously, the Zhou army only planned to withdraw to the Western Regions after the Mughal plunder, but they did not expect the war to go too smoothly, and the army approached Delhi, forcing the Mughal to cede the land west of the Sutlej River.Although the climate here is relatively dry, not as humid and fertile as the Gangetic Plain, it is more suitable for survival than the Western Regions.Therefore, Sun Kewang suggested that only a part of the people should be sent back to transport grain, and then a group of people would come directly to India to settle down.This not only facilitates the control of the newly acquired land, but also saves the cost of transporting grain to the Western Regions.Wu Sangui saw the weakness of the Mughal Empire and had already intended to replace it, and immediately agreed to Sun Kewang's suggestion.A month later, Wu Sangui announced that he would rename Kashmir Kunnan Province, Punjab Nanzhili, and Lahore Nannan, where he would ascend the throne as emperor.Sun Kewang sensed Wu Sangui's intention to be the emperor, he was close to the Ming Dynasty before, and once he was called the emperor, he would inevitably attract the Ming army to attack, so Wu Sangui had endured not being called the emperor.Now, far away from the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to care about Zhao Ming's feelings, and after the Zhou army was driven out of Guanzhong and left the Western Regions, the morale of the army is low, and a major event is urgently needed to boost the morale of the army.Sun Kewang saw that Wu Sangui had the intention of being called emperor, so it was convenient for the generals of the Zhou army to ventilate and persuade Wu Sangui to ascend the throne and become emperor, which intensified the morale of the Great Zhou.Wu Sangui pretended to refuse at first, but it was obvious that his subordinates insisted, so he agreed happily and began to plan for the emperor.()
